Would appreciate feedback on this blurb for new novel Ever Sleep
Raphael Lennon, thought dead after committing terrorist acts against The Eliot Group, an alliance of AI firms, has hidden in the California Sierra for four years. If found alive, the Group will “skin him and bury the quivering flesh in a coffin of salt.” When his soulmate Addy leaves camp to buy supplies but doesn't return, Raphael sets out to find her.
Raphael soon encounters the disturbing world that the Group has created. Using fungi as a neural substitute, Eliot has revived dead individuals as mobile cyborgs. But the newly minted humanoids can’t dream, leading to comas after a few weeks of human-like activities.
Raphael learns that Eliot has taken Addy to the Project, a structure in the Sequoia National Forest. In the Project, Eliot experiments instilling dreams in the cyborgs by mining human brains. Raphael must expose his own identity and offer up his life to save Addy from this nightmare.
